objective c - Adding custom fonts to iOS app finding their real names

Question

I have two fonts to add in my app for using.

Here is the font images. Currently the files are named as

name.font       = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Neue LT Pro-Medium" size:10];
headline.font   = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Neue LT Pro-Light" size:8];

putting same name in the Font Avaliable option in plist file.

I have also tried adding file names like

HelveticaNeueLTPro-Lt
HelveticaNeueLTPro-Md

but nothing seems to work. How can i get the exact name of the fonts.

Use +[UIFont familyNames] to list all of the font family names known to the system. For each family name, you can then use +[UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:] to list all of the font names known to the system. Try printing those out to see what name the system expects. Example code:

static void dumpAllFonts() {
    for (NSString *familyName in [UIFont familyNames]) {
        for (NSString *fontName in [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:familyName]) {
            NSLog(@"%@", fontName);
        }
    }
}

Put that in your app, call it, and see what you get. If you see a name in the output that looks appropriate for your font, use it. Otherwise, perhaps you haven't properly added the font to your app.

In swift 4.2+ use code given below:

func dumpAllFonts() {
        for familyName in UIFont.familyNames {
            for fontName in UIFont.fontNames(forFamilyName: familyName) {
                print("(fontName)")
            }
        }
    }
